Roy Moore: A History of Bigotry, Extremism and Contempt for the Rule of Law

Earlier this month, The Washington Post published a thoroughly sourced [URL='https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/woman-says-roy-moore-initiated-sexual-encounter-when-she-was-14-he-was-32/2017/11/09/1f495878-c293-11e7-afe9-4f60b5a6c4a0_story.html?utm_term=.8125337c553d']report

that Roy Moore–the former chief justice of Alabama, hero to the Religious Right, and current GOP Senate nominee–had attempted to date teenage girls when he was an assistant district attorney in his 30s and in one case had allegedly molested a 14-year-old. Since that story broke, several other women have come forward with allegations, including one who says Moore assaulted her when she was 16 years old. Moore has denied the allegations, and most Religious Right leaders have rallied around him, even as some Republican officials have publicly distanced themselves.


While it is not clear where these allegations will ultimately lead legally or politically, Moore’s record of extremism and contempt for the rule of law has been crystal clear, and the fact that so many Republican elected officials have been willing to support him in spite of, or because of, that history, is itself scandalous.


Moore’s support from Religious Right leaders and conservative evangelical activists and pastors reflects the intense enthusiasm he has generated over the past two decades by waging high-profile battles challenging the separation of church and state and the advance of legal equality for LGBTQ Americans. Moore’s brand of aggressive Christian nationalism, combined with his repeated defiance of court rulings he personally disagrees with, have given him folk-hero status on the Christian Right, which has built political power by promoting the idea that liberal secularists and judicial activists are persecuting American Christians.


Apart from the allegations of sexual misconduct, Moore’s public life has been driven by his defiance of the Constitution and rule of law. He stubbornly and repeatedly insists that his own religious beliefs and worldview trump court rulings. He undermines his supposed commitment to religious liberty by arguing that Christians have a privileged place over non-Christians in American law and society. He rejects the core constitutional principle of equality under the law by arguing that gay and lesbian Americans should not only be denied legal equality but should be treated as criminals. Moore has promoted far-right conspiracy theories and hinted of a need for revolution against the U.S. government. He has suggested that the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were the consequence of America forsaking God’s word and embracing “perverseness and oppression.” And as recently as December 2016, months after even then-candidate Donald Trump had publicly abandoned racist “birther” conspiracies about Barack Obama, Moore was still saying that he believes Obama was not born in the U.S.

He's a pedophile?

 

[Rambunctious]

Innocent until proven guilty...that has always worked for us so why do you selectively want to discard it.

Roy Moore reminds me of FLDS cult leader Warren Jeffs.

You need to get out more...

He's a pedophile?

Always on top of things aren’t you Skippy.

 

[Rambunctious]

You mean like with Hillary Clinton?

Her crimes are not 40 years old, they are still provable in a court of law. All we want is for her to be indicted and given a trial date.

Are you the guy with the proof?

You’ve already tried and convicted the victims of Moore... so spare us your bullshit.

You mean like "Lock her up"? So, you want her "indicted"? For what?

So provable in a court of law no law official would bring it up for trial. You’re a liar.

 

[Rambunctious]

You mean like "Lock her up"?

Yes right after she is convicted...you bet.

 

[Rambunctious]

So probable in a court of law no law official would bring it up for trial. You’re a liar.

What?

Notice the ? Sparky?

Do you consider him a pedophile as well?

Which of your talking heads started that false claim?

 

[Rambunctious]

How did I do that? All I said is what we have always believed...innocent until proven guilty. A 40 year old he said she said would never be brought to court...

Never mind you don't believe in facts or evidence, but rather trial by witch hunt, Venezuela would still suite your preference much better.

Illegal money laundering and bribe taking through the Clinton foundation...just wait until the informant has his day in front of congress...she is in big trouble and so is Bill.
